Griffey in the spotlight
A prolific home run hitter made history today. Thankfully, we're not talking about Barry Bonds.
Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 537th career home run in Cincinnati; the Red broke a tie with Yankee legend Mickey Mantle for 12th on the career list. Griffey also notched his 1,538th RBI, moving ahead of Joe DiMaggio, another Yankee great.
I'm glad to see these achievements get attention. That's because I feel confident that Griffey achieved them legitimately. After all, his performance dropped off considerably in recent years. If he was really juicing, he would've fared much better.
